India last travelled to England under MS Dhoni for a tour in 2014, when they lost the test series 3-1, but India will look to make amends under Kohli.

Kohli also commented on a call by former Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar to scrap the rule allowing two new balls in ODIs to revive the moribund art of reverse swing in the format.
